First-Time Home Buyers

Start with a plan. Buy with confidence.

A first home comes with unfamiliar decisions. Get a clear view of your budget, documents and next steps before you start making offers.

Set your buying budget

We look at income, existing debt, down payment and the costs that continue after you move in. A comfortable budget should leave room for life, repairs and a financial cushion.

Prepare before you offer

A pre-approval can help you understand a potential borrowing range. Final approval still depends on the property, complete documentation, lender review and any changes to your situation.

Coordinate the closing

Your deposit, down payment and closing costs need to be available at the right time. Amir Fetanat helps you understand the lender conditions and works with the professionals involved in your purchase.

A useful starting checklist

  • Employment letter and recent pay statements
  • Tax documents requested for your income type
  • Down-payment history and any gift documentation
  • Purchase agreement and property details once available
